Mass wasting refers to the movement of soil and rock down a slope due to gravity. This process can occur slowly, as in soil creep, or rapidly, as in landslides and rockfalls. Factors such as rainfall, earthquakes, and human activities can trigger mass wasting events, leading to significant changes in the landscape. There are various types of mass wasting, including slumps, slides, and flows. Each type is characterized by the speed and nature of the material movement. Understanding mass wasting is essential for managing land use and minimizing risks to infrastructure and communities in vulnerable areas.
